How’s your weather?
It’s fine down here, but we’re supposed to be getting storms soon.
I think I’be been catching up on naps. I’ve been asleep most of the day.
Everyone asking about eachother’s weather made me think of this site – New Math. Scroll down a bit to the equation on “Conference Call.”
I think I liked the all you can eat buffet the best.
Yeah, that one’s priceless.
The current contest asks people to finish the equation
“infulence = . . . “
Maybe someone here could give it a go.
Another one of my New Math favorites is:
Rumor = distance/truth
That should read
“influence = . . .”
Hi FM. Something warm please
Anything you want Mary.
I need to find out how to put up that vote for Olivia think at the top. I just tried it and it screwed up everything.
I wondered what happened. The whole page looked funny.
I think I just fixed what I screw up. Hopefully the page will stary the same.
It’s back to normal for me now.
I tried to put the vote for Olivia thing in after I had posted it, but it didn’t work. So I went back to the old one.
Funny ain’t the half of it. Glad to hear it’s not just me, cuz even reloading my browser didn’t help.
How does it look now?
Relax, ya fixed it.
Thanks.
FYI: I’m setting up a site for The BooDay Backstories Project. I’ll post the link on all my comments and diaries. So far I just have the inspiration for the project posted.
I am so out of the loop. What is this about?
SN and I were whining the other night that we wish we had some exciting life stories to post when Diane does the welcome wagons — we needed to make up good back stories for ourselves. So Teach313 said he’d do it. It’s quite the project.
Of course, the back story he’s created for me means that I’ll have to leave BT permanently …
Ooh, I want an exciting story about my life too. Fun and exciting…not the other kind of exciting.
I can’t believe everyone’s been getting snow, and we have sweatshirt weather here.
Be careful what you wish for.
The happy ending is yet to come. The second act is always dark.
Do I end up with B2? Madame Boran may not like that. And I’ve never been a home wrecker.
I thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately I’ll never be able to use it as a welcome wagon back story because the people at BT are so weird about the whole corporate lawyer thing anyway. And they don’t get satire. I’ve already had to give up most substantive commenting here — with this back story I’d have to give up the cafe and fluffy threads too.
I miss you substantive comments.
I do too.
Madame B2 can rest safely. B2 is an honorable artist who simply saves a shoe-bedazzled maiden. (Kidspeak already intervened here. I was just tying in the comment B2 made about meeting in you.)
If you like, we can ditch the whole lawyer thing. Want to be the owner/operator of an organic goat cheese operation?
The conclusion will be warm and fuzzy, never fear.
See? I knew B2 was perfect.
I can’t tell you where to go with the story. As kansas would probably tell you, characters take on a life of their own.
Just because I can’t use it as my welcome wagon back story doesn’t mean it’s not a masterpiece.
Then you’ll publish them and make loads of money … sigh.
Like I would try to pull that stunt on a lawyer.
Paging George to the Dog Blog. George to the Dog Blog please.
Helpp be dropping by in just a minute.
Should have been He’ll be. Gotta wake up!
No problemo.
somethun’s real funky in yer diary code fm…the cols are totally whacked…think it’s the border…2 cols, the rt hand enlarged to half the page and the left hand border runniing down thru comments…running safari here.
Is it better now dada?
now, how bout some brown liquor in a dirty glass?…line ’em up…….
it’s coooooollllld out there
We’ve got plent of dirty glasses and if not, I have George lick out of a clean one.
It’s getting colder and colder.
heard from my bro in SE Ks today, they’re getting pounded.
Cold’s still here, and wind’s picking up…gonna get ugly tonight…hence the anti-freeze…:{)
Since I just woke up, I have to get George outside and something started for dinner.
I’ll be back in a minute.
Hey everyone. Anything to eat around here?
and pickled pig’s feet….and if you ask politely, some of FM and NDD’s stuffed chitluns.
Mmmm, that’ll hit the spot.
What’s w/ these gross cafes today …
Sheesh … and you think poutine is bad.
how ya doin’ O
Doing good … now that I’m home. Another long day spent in Cubeville: Population 1.
pop’poppopp
How was your day?
And are you packed yet?
Busy day, starving, sort of sick feeling, and not packed but trying to find warm clothes because it looks like it’ll be cold.
You should keep your warm clothes in a conspicuous place as a constant reminder that you are not a member in good standing of Southern Womanhood™
Sick and hungry is crappy combination. Do you have a fever — isn’t that what you feed?
I like to think you’re supposed to feed everything. It was probably the nasty breakfast at Shoney’s that I picked at that made me sick. Yuck.
The plane ride will be fine
Oh don’t badmouth shoney’s — I have a large soft spot them from childhood days at camp in tennessee. When the frisch’s became shoney’s, I need I’d crossed into foreign territory.
Sorry, it was the most godawful excuse for breakfast food I’d ever had. And I’m no picky eater, lemme tell ya!
Hi, FM, maryb, SN, Andi,dada,and keres.
Mary, I’m looking out at enough snow to cover a dachshund, how about you? Er, I don’t mean, would it also cover you, I mean. . .
Hey kansas, how is Lucy doing?
Hey,CG! Lucy thanks you for your concern and asks me to tell you that if I think she’s going out in that stuff then I have another think coming.
It’s kind of funny/tragic to watch a Dachshund in the snow. If only I had wee antlers to attach to her. . .
you could shoot for ingenuity in the prairies and go for a shark fin
hi! long time no blogsee!
Snort, giggle!
Manee!! No time no blogee see, indeed. While lurking the other day I saw a purty photo of you and Diva.
it a couple of days after diane posted the thread, that was the night before she left. I’m sure she’s missing the desert big time now that the arctic weather has descended on your area.
Yeah, she hates the cold. When she arrived I asked her if she had brought winter clothing with her and she said, “It gets cold here?” I knew we were in trouble.
I imagine that a dachshund in the snow is almost as silly/sad as a shih-tzu in the snow. We usually shovel a path to the woods for Phoebe.
If only I could get Lucy to shih-tze in the snow.
because then I’d have to be pissed that you won’t get a digital camera.
That really made me laugh.
been a long time…welcome back!
Hey, dada! Good to see you, too!
I assume. When’s the next book and tour…missed you in Denver last year…won’t do that again.
Well, shoot! That means you missed meeting Raging Hippie, too. My pub may. . .may. . .send me a few places when the paperback comes out this spring. If not, then it’ll be another half year or so before the next tour. I would love to meet you!
lots of good bookstores too…just a seed that might find fertile ground…closer too :{)
to futilely mention the mystery bookstore in Carmel, In.
opportunity …
Why, my goodness gracious, it does.
6,323 times I’ve mentioned it.
But who’s counting?
another life lesson from my mother.
So are there going to be any returning characters in the new book or do we get to meet a whole new crowd?
Whole new.
Even I haven’t met them all yet.
I think you missed one time …
That’s okay, her mother caught it.
but it’s supposed to turn to snow later tonight. They say we shouldn’t get more than 6 inches here in the city. We’re right on the edge. About an hour north of here they’ll get 12 inches.
Of course — what do the weather people know?
I hope you’re staying warm? A little peppermint schnapps in your hot chocolate?
Cozy and warm, thanks, although we did briefly lose power not once but several times last night. Still, the good news is we have electricity. . .and plenty of homemade soup. . .now. I wish the same for you! Oh, and shnapps in your cocoa, too, of course.
I think I owe you an email from back around the time my mom fell and broke a leg. I do have a really good excuse!
e-mails? Who keeps track?
I don’t think I’ve even talked to you since the election. I was so happy for you when Claire won! And happy for the rest of us, too. Congratulations. How nice to work so hard and actually win one!
I would have been so depressed if I had been stuck with Talent another 6 years.
But I’m glad it’s over and I have some free time again.
Well, my free time is over for now. Got to go back to work tonight. But I’ll see ya sooner rather than later.
I could use one or three about now. I am so tired…this has been quite a week here.
Hi CG
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
That reminds me. I have to go vote again. BRB.
i think i know what I’m getting you for festivus this year.
That would be swell, ManEe! As long I don’t have to share with anyone, that is…
Hey folks. Is there an empty seat by the fire? Maybe a comfy chair and a pot of tea? Some cookies?
tea and cookies is not really a lounge thang …
But for your stories here ya go: a bodum tea pot w/ fresh tea leaves and my very own soon-to-be internationally renowned ginger cookies …
Vous bénir, ma petite poutine, merci! J’aime des biscuits de gingembre.
There are a few here — Knucklehead and IVG come to mind.
Non, ai employé un programme de traduction. Je’ai aucune idée si écrivais ce quai voulu dire je.
sneaky. Well done …
Technologie ist sehr nützlich.
yes, very useful …
I would have passed Ancient Greek and Russian as an undergrad if this thing had been around then. Well, I might have passed them then if I ever went to class.
the Tea Room is round back….shhhhh
Hey, what is this place? I can barely see through all the smoke.
Ah, miss, may I please have a pot of tea.
A what?
What’s a nark?
It’s a business suit, I came straight from work.
Yes, I were a suit to my job.
You’re out of tea?
Why are all those people rushing out the backdoor?
You better have a plumber in here. It sounds like you toilets are all flushing at once.
dada. dada sent me.
I should do what?
Go back to the lounge and send dada back to see you?
Ok. Will you have any tea later?
No. You’re closing up? Oh well, I’ll go get dada.
Hey, dada, they want to see you in the tea room! I hope you don’t want any tea, they’re all out.
Hey George, I guess I’ll have a bear.
Whoo, this suit smells funky. I better stop at the dry-cleaners on the way to work tomorrow.
now ya went an blew it…there goes the free samplers…bummer dude…
I’m so sorry, dada. It was an innocent mistake. I just wanted a pot of tea. I still don’t know what happened. But I did notice that several of the vans parked out back are still there. You know the ones with cute dancing bears stickers and those weird skull things? Maybe they know where the Tea Shop is moving to.
loaded up and said they were headed to Chez Cabin…somethin’ about ‘touring’…? to me
That Jive talk is lost on me. I can’t make heads nor tails of it. I never can understand the Hep cats. Is Chez Cabin a restuarant run by that zany Cab Calloway?
If you’d still like some tea, olivia kindly brewed a pot and made some lovely ginger biscuits. There’s still a bit left.
I do have the munchies
Today is the birthday of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain.
I just shoveled all the slush off my sidewalks. Almost 2 inches of slush — it’s heavy!
Where’s Family Man, did he forget us?
